Abstract
Scientific research often requires specially made equipment. The glass blower can make intricate apparatuses designed to exacting specifications that are used in scientific laboratories for specific research purposes. Master glass blower John Lehman demonstrates this by making a hydrogenation apparatus that can turn vegetable oils into solid shortening. The first cathode ray tubes used in early television were created by glass blowers.
